Learn to pour a perfect latte and a frothy cappuccino<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff coffee shop, 200 Degrees, is running a barista school to give people a better understanding of coffee preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running at weekends, classes can give people new skills and a new understanding of coffee, whatever their previous experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham Hepburn, head of coffee at 200 Degrees<\/a>, said sessions aim to give people a better understanding of coffee, however they make it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three courses are aimed at improving the skills of existing or aspiring baristas, giving those who attend a wider employment prospectus in a country that consumes 95 million coffees a day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham added, \u201cMany come to gain experience, allowing more employment opportunities or simply helping them get better at a job they already have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Barista
Course sizes are small, so you\u2019ll get lots of direct training<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A basic barista course teaches people of all experience levels to make common drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos, which could be a foot in the door<\/a> to a cafe job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intermediate course is aimed at those who already understand how espresso machines work<\/a>, perhaps those who have used an espresso machine as part of a hospitality role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advanced course can teach those with previous barista experience to improve their existing skills, with advanced latte art and the science behind milk microfoam being taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All could help you land a job, or take your current one to a new level, according to Graham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a home brew course to teach enthusiasts about bean production; different home brewing methods; and give practical advice on which beans, methods and recipes will suit individual flavour preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could improve the coffee you make, even if you only drink at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

200 Degrees is located on Queen Street, Cardiff. Course prices range from \u00a345 to \u00a395, so they aren\u2019t cheap, but most include a free bag of coffee and a voucher for discounted brewing kit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
